Sony SLV-E780EN/EG Operating Instructions Manual page 37

Tips
• To select a programme position, you can use the programme number buttons on the
remote commander. For two-digit numbers, press the ? (ten's digit) button
followed by the programme number buttons.
• You can select a video source from the LINE-1 (TV), LINE-3 IN (Scart) connector, or
LINE 2 IN VIDEO/AUDIO L/R jacks using INPUT SELECT.
• The display appears on the TV screen indicating information about the tape, but the
information won't be recorded on the tape.
• If you don't want to watch TV while recording, you can turn off the TV.
When using a decoder, make sure to leave it on.
Notes
• The display does not appear during still (pause) mode or slow-motion playback.
• The display will not appear while playing an NTSC-recorded tape.
• If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL and NTSC systems, the time counter
reading will not be correct. This discrepancy is due to the difference between the
counting cycles of the two video systems.
• You cannot watch a Canal Plus programme while recording another Canal Plus
programme.
• When you insert a tape with a non-standard commercially available tape, the
remaining time may not be correct.
• The remaining time doesn't work for an NTSC-recorded tape. "–H– –M" appears in
the display window.
• The remaining time is intended for rough measurement only.
• About 30 seconds after the tape begins playback, the tape remaining time will be
displayed.
